St. Landry democrat., 1887-10-15


respects the terms are synonymous; but
there is no happiness or content no
chance of pursuing pleasurable course,
without freedom of action, mental and
physical.
Thirty years! Give twelve waking
hours each day and we find, in thirty
years, 7,284,O0O minutes. A minute is
| quite sufficient for an acute throb of
pain to do its work, and these throbs
magnitied into hours of suffering, twelve
each day and often all the twenty
four, days lengthen into weeks, and
months and years, for forty, thirty and
! twenty years of torture, and the wonder
is that human endurance has the strength
to bear so much Almost on the instant
all this can be changed, relieved, re-
strengthened, cured, without relapse,
reaching the perfection Of every charlta-
Bile hope and the ultimatum in pursuit OF
happiness and content. 1t has taken
great care and trouble to search out and
follow such cases, but there has been in
no case reluctance to speak freely; on
the contrary, very free expression is
given as a cheerful duty. We come to
the proof in the language of the writers
themselves, which. in the nature of re-
| neWals of former statements, after lapse
of years, confirm the fact that no relapse
has taken place, and that pain, once con-
quered through the agency referred to,
is driven from the system.
The original statement of Mr. Frank
Durgen, concerning the suffering of his
father, is dated Bangor Me-, Feb'y 18th,
1892, and is as follows: MY father,
who lives at As York ST., has suffered
with rheumatism and erysipelas in his
feet for the past 30 years. He has en-
ployed the best physicians, and tried all
the known remedies for such diseases,
but has never received any benefit until
last winter, at which time his feet and
the lower part of his legs were swollen
to four times their natural size and were
so highly int1amed he could not bear
pound of weight on them. He applied
ST. Jacobs Oil to the afflicted parts and
before he had used half the contents of
one bottle, he was completely cured and
has not had any rheumatism or erysipelas
trouble since After lapse of four years
Mr.. J. W. Durgen, the father, writes as
follows: "Bangor, Me-, Nov. 1, 1886: I
used St. Jacobs Oil as stated, and it
cured me right away of rheumatism in
my wrist and feet. | had not slept any
for a week Not more than five minutes
after using it fell asleep and had a good
nap. have been the means of helping
a great many by telling them about the
Oil. J. w Durgen." This case presents
chronic suffering for thirty years; it was
cured by St. Jacobs Oil, and in the lapse
of four wears there has been no recurrence
of pain.
Again we take up another instance,
citing only such as are of long standing.
Mr. D. NJ Rearck, Three Rivers, Mich,
Dec. 18th, 1882, writes: ALLOW me to
| make a statement to you what St. Jacobs
Oil has done for me in rheumatism of 80
years standing. | strained my back 30
years ago; it turned to rheumatism and
it kept getting worse all the time. I
ould be laid up two or three weeks
with such pain l could not move nor
turn. 1 tried everything, every kind of
plaster, but found very little relief had
to call in the family doctor; took his
medicine for a while, but found no relief
He advised change of climate; went to
Southern Kansas stayed eight months;
came back nearly as bad off St. Jacobs
Oil was recommended to me-; tried one
bottle. Now my back is as strong as it
ever was. l have lost no time in two
years, and am doing manual labor every
day. Four years elapse and Mr. Rearick
writes from Constantine, Mich, Dec Is,
1886, as follows: at gives me much
pleasure to substantiate what [ said five
years ago in regard to St. Jacobs Oil.
had been troubled with pains in the
back for 80 years; confined to nv bed
for weeks; tried most every remedy,
most every plaster; found no relief;
bought St. Jacobs Oil made fourteen
applications in all; gave it thorough
rubbing according to directions. | am
happy to inform you l have been a we'll
and hearty man ever since" This re-
markable case needs no further comment
than to say that it is an example of
many Others of a like nature, of like en-
durance, and of like cure
Another illustration is the case of Mr..
w II. Heeson, No 1877 N. Chester Street
Baltimore, Md, who, under date of Dec.
10, 1885, writes as follows: "For nearly
thirty years l was subject to such severe
rheumatism in my left shoulder it was
sometimes impossible for me to use the
limb, and could not at any time raise it
as high as my head. Every possible
remedy was tried, as also homeopathic
and allopathic treatment, but all was of
no avail AT last l began using St.
Jacobs Oil and before had finished one
bottle experienced great relief. By the
time had used two bottles my arm was
as well and strong as ever. | can now
Use it When1 am working and it answers
every demand on it as strongly and
effectively as if it was a portion of a
Well-regnlated steam engine"
